Amazing payroll platform

5.0 last month New

Pros:

foundU is quick and easy to use. It makes the weekly pays a breeze. Rarely are there any issues, ad if there are the resource articles are so easy to follow and 9/10 times you can easily find what you need.

Cons:

Ability for the app to work on mobile devices when there is no phone service or Wi-Fi would be great. If the employees could still clock on and off and it sends the update when they have connection again would help out immensely. Also a security update is needed that stops the app on personal devices using the device time and date settings which could be wrong or easily changed by a dishonest employee.

Alternatives Considered: Deputy and NoahFace

Reasons for Switching to foundU: It had been previously used by staff and in a business recently purchased and bought into the group, so we decided to stick with what was working.

10/10 Would recommend!

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: Greatly minimised time required for payroll processing. Also created a smoother flow of the rostering and shift approval process. Greatly added to the efficiency of management and finance processes. Support staff were also impeccable and greatly assisted in the set-up process.

Pros:

Intuitive design makes it easy to use and a breeze to integrate into an established workflow. It also allows for staff with widely varying levels of software proficiency to learn to use the program in no time.

Cons:

It would be useful to be able to view the shifts for a week all together on one page rather than only one day at a time in the approved shifts section.
